Excerpt from Le Château Vert, Vol. 1
Hasard ou haine détruisit en un clin d'oeil ces beaux projets.
Un incendie dévora le musée de Céles tin et de Xavier; eux - mêmes faillirent perdre la vie en essayant d'arracher aux ¿ammes leur fortune, hélas! Trop com bustible. La mode des assurances contre l'incendie était encore, a cette époque, à peu près inconnue à Dublin. D'ailleurs nos deux marins n'auraient pas songé à pren -dre cette précaution.
